It has to be said that the Blood Chamber of Commerce has a strong ability to mobilize. On the way back, Gu Yuan had seen many people sighing because they failed to grab the tickets to the auction.
"I say, does the Blood Chamber of Commerce's triennial auction have a lot of things? Otherwise, why are there so many people coming? And it seems that there are not so many people in Boulder City usually? So are the extra people coming from outside?" Gu Yuan looked at the little witch and asked.
"The Blood Chamber of Commerce is not as simple as you think. The ability of this chamber of commerce to stand firm in Boulder City is not based on the strength you see. Let me tell you, the Blood Chamber of Commerce does a wide range of business and has more or less connections with most of the chambers of commerce in the Shuihan Empire. You just underestimated them." The little witch said lightly.
"What did you say? He's connected to most of the Chambers of Commerce in the Shuihan Empire? How is that possible? It's too exaggerated, right?"
Gu Yuan was a little shocked. Is the Blood Chamber of Commerce so powerful?
"What else do you think? The reason why the auction is held every three years is that it is actually an auction organized by the Blood Chamber of Commerce and other chambers of commerce, but it is announced to the outside world that it is organized by the Blood Chamber of Commerce. There is also a most important point, that is, no one is in charge of Giant Stone City, and it is very chaotic here, so there are often some good things that are not presentable, and this place is the best transit station. So you understand, those chambers of commerce transfer things through the Blood Chamber of Commerce, and the Blood Chamber of Commerce also uses this to increase its own strength and reputation. It is mutually beneficial." said the little witch.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering, the Blood Chamber of Commerce is quite bold. Those things that can't be seen in public must have come from illegal sources, right? Aren't they afraid of offending some powerful people?" Gu Yuan asked with a frown.
"There's nothing to worry about. Since the outside chambers of commerce were able to get their hands on it, they must have done a lot of processing beforehand. It's just that they finally transferred it through the Blood Chamber of Commerce. Even if there wasn't the Blood Chamber of Commerce, there are still other chambers of commerce. Who knows how many chambers of commerce would want to do the same? Who can resist the interests? Besides, this auction has been held more than a dozen times, and there shouldn't have been any problems from then until now."
"Now that you mention it, I'm actually looking forward to this auction!" Gu Yuan said excitedly.
"Go back, we'll come back in three days!"
…
Three days later, the day that Gu Yuan had been looking forward to finally arrived.
The Boulder City was crowded with people, and Gu Yuan and the little witch came to the door of the Blood Chamber of Commerce.
Many people lined up consciously and entered the auction hall one by one in an orderly manner. Those who had tickets were full of joy, while those who did not have tickets could only stand far away, full of envy.
No one dared to rush in without thinking, because those guys in armor would not let them get away with it.
As soon as Gu Yuan and the little witch arrived at that station, the staff member from before came to greet them.
"Mr. Gu, you are here!"
The staff greeted Gu Yuan enthusiastically and completely ignored the little witch beside Gu Yuan, which made Gu Yuan feel a little funny. If he knew that the person being ignored was a powerful Spirit Emperor, what would he think?
"Okay, should we go to the back and line up now?" Gu Yuan asked, looking at the long line.
"No need! Mr. Gu, come with me. You can go through the special channel and enter directly without queuing!"
The staff walked in front, and Gu Yuan and the little witch followed closely behind.
"When do you plan to reveal your identity as the Spirit King? Even President Long doesn't seem to know your true strength?" Gu Yuan suddenly approached the little witch and asked.
"Why should we make it public? Isn't it better to just leave it like this?" the little witch asked back.
"But look, this little staff member just ignored you. Aren't you angry?" Gu Yuan asked jokingly.
"Do I have so much free time? I wish no one knew my strength!" The little witch rolled her eyes and said.
"That's true, but sometimes being too low-key is not a good thing. Sometimes you still need to show some strength to intimidate some dark things." Gu Yuan said meaningfully.
"Mr. Gu, this is it. You and your companions can go in."
The staff member took Gu Yuan and the little witch to a relatively quiet place, pointed there and said.
"Can we just go in from here?" Gu Yuan asked.
"Yes, Master Gu."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Xiaoba, let's go!"
Just as Gu Yuan walked towards there and was about to go in, a figure appeared first, stretched out his arms and directly blocked Gu Yuan and the little witch behind him.
"Um?"
Gu Yuan frowned and looked at the man with his back facing him.
"Stop first and let our young master go in first."
The man carried a heavy sword on his back and wore an old linen robe. There was nothing special about him, except that he had a strong evil aura.
Just as the middle-aged man finished saying this, Gu Yuan caught a glimpse of a few people out of the corner of his eye.
Turning around, I saw a handsome young man in brocade clothes surrounded in the middle, with four or five guard-like people on both sides, protecting him firmly.
"Sir, you can just go through here, no need to queue."
The middle-aged man in hemp clothes said to the handsome young man.
The handsome young man nodded, and just as he was about to go in, he turned his gaze directly to Gu Yuan, or to be more precise, to the little witch.
The handsome young man was stunned at first, and then a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"This girl is a stunner!"
The handsome young man ran straight towards the little witch. The middle-aged man in hemp clothes looked at the handsome young man's actions, turned around, and after seeing the peerless beauty of the little witch, he finally understood. He sighed secretly and thought to himself that it was no wonder that his young master reacted so strongly.
"Miss, are you also attending the auction?"
The handsome young man walked up to Gu Yuan and the other man, waved his hand to signal the middle-aged man in hemp clothes to step back, and asked the little witch.
Gu Yuan knew the little witch's character. As expected, the little witch didn't even pay attention to him. She looked directly at Gu Yuan and said, "Let's go in directly."
Gu Yuan nodded and was about to walk past the handsome young man, but was stopped by him and the middle-aged man in hemp clothes.
"Miss, why are you so anxious? Meeting is fate. Why can't we get to know each other?"
When the handsome young man heard that the little witch was leaving, his breathing quickened a little. From the first moment he saw her, his eyes never left the little witch's face.
The little witch frowned and said, "Get out of the way."
"Even this girl's frown is so beautiful! This young master must have her!"
The little witch had some natural charm, and coupled with her excessive beauty, her peerless appearance was comparable to Chi Yu'er's, which was simply not something the handsome young man could resist.
Only someone like Gu Yuan who is used to it can follow the little witch so calmly.
